The NV200 Taxi is the first full vehicle prototype of the Taxi of Tomorrow, and Inhabitat was on the scene as it was unveiled at a special event last evening at the 2012 New York Auto Show. After a two-year competitive bid selection process, the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) selected the Nissan NV200 Taxi in May 2011 as the exclusive taxi of New York City beginning in late 2013.

My choice is none of the above because the NissanTaxi of Tomorrow is not wheelchair accessible!

Our nation's capitol has a Martin Luther King Jr. statue sculpted by Chinese sculptors because they were cheaper. Now our biggest metro area is using taxis not made in our own country, after we went to the expense to bail out our auto industry. Creating an economy that doesn't support the middle class is another type of pollution.
